Favorite Songs #6: Case of the Monthlies

We've done it for various days of the week, but at the start of a new month it's time to ask: what is your favorite song (or Top Five or Top Ten or whatever) with a MONTH in the title?

The rules:

• I strongly prefer we lean away from songs where the month name is actually being used as a person's name. For example, Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" won't count despite the word "May" in the title. I won't forbid it (as though I really could), especially if it's a more unique example (e.g., a song about a girl named January or something). But please play the game as it is obviously intended. Otherwise, what's the fun?
• The song needn't be a radio-friendly tune. It can be an obscure album track, so long as at least one of twelve keywords are mentioned in the title.
• Go ahead and break the language barrier. If "Cinco de Mayo" by Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass is what rocks your casbah, then let it be known.

There you have it. Now vote!

Given the broad scope of this survey, it is probably quite difficult to remember every "month" song there is. As such, I don't feel comfortable assuming a "Top Five" list could really be deemed all that accurate. There's just too much room for error. Nevertheless, in addition to the many great songs that have already been pointed out, I'll give honorable mentions to "In September" and "Middle of July" (both by Hayden) and "December" (by Teenage Fanclub). But, the #1 song that has not been mentioned thus far is: "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. With four songs being nominated, it appears December is the king (or queen) of great pop-song inspiration. Congratulations, December!
